Top of the Rock

Chris is off ALLLLLL week! We had thought about driving north, but decided to do a "staycation" instead. There are soooo many things to do in the city, so we thought we would try some of them out for the week. Day one was to head to midtown to go up to the top of Rockefeller Center and enjoy the views from the "Top of the Rock".

 The magnitude of Central Park!! Our apartment is over to the right of the lake/reservoir. Way over.

                                                       It was a bit windy that day!

This was a really cool room where the lights followed you around. If you went fast enough, the whole room lit up.

                                     Lady Liberty is over in the right middle-she looks tiny!

 This picture doesn't do this elevator top justice. It changes colors as you take the 43 second trip up to the 67th floor. Really neat.

 Then, as we were walking out of the building, the were filming 30 Rock! Finally, some celebrities I know! I couldn't get a good shot of Tina Fey, but here are some of James Marsden. I was about 3 people deep in the crowd, so I was just holding my camera up and clicking.

 The bunny from Easter at Rockefeller Center.

 We made a quick stop in FAO because Chris hadn't been yet. It was a mad house though because of Spring Break.

                                                    On to Adventure #2!!

Happy Easter!

So after a long night with Ryan, Andrew found his basket in the bathtub before Chris and I woke up. He was super excited to tell me about it when I did wake up. Things were then done a little backwards because Ryan was still asleep, so we let Andrew look in his basket, then he helped Ryan with his, then they hunted for eggs. The Easter Bunny is going to have to be very creative finding spots to hide those baskets for two more years!

            And you know every single jelly bean was eaten as soon as the egg was found.

 After church we headed to Madison Square Park because it is close. The boys had fun showing off for Grammy and Papa on a new playground.

We hope everyone had a very blessed Easter! 

Grammy and Papa visit for Easter!

Grammy and Papa came up on the train to celebrate Easter with us. They got in early Saturday morning so we got to enjoy a late breakfast and play before Ryan's nap. After naps we headed down to the library at 42nd and 5th, also known as the Stephen A. Schwarzman Library.  It was absolutely beautiful.  They house the original Winnie the Pooh stuffed animals, and have about a bizillion children's books. I will definitely have to go back with Andrew sometime as he could sit and read forever.

 After the library we headed outside to Bryant Park and rode the carousel.  The boys had fun with Daddy and Papa before we headed towards Times Square. (I am not sure what we were thinking there, as it was Spring break, Saturday afternoon and CRAZY!!!).

 Yes, his sunglasses are upside down. That is how he wears them, and won't change it. He is as stubborn as a mule. Just like his Daddy:)

 Ryan was SCARED to death of the characters. Maybe we will be rethinking Disney?

 After dinner it was Easter Egg dying time! We really should have just made one bowl of brown, because that is how all the eggs turned out( and cracked), but that is okay.

Can't wait until the bunny comes!
